It is an amazing elementary school with enormous amounts of parent involvement. I would like to see better food.

White families and kids will definitely be happier and more acceptable in this school. Lots of staff and parents are nice but there are enough of the opposites to make you feel white supremacy strongly. It was sad that I had to pull my kid out after I ran out of white lies about it!!!!!

High Tech is a tremendous school. The leadership, teachers, community members all do an incredible job supporting each other and the students.
6/30/2018
Great school, teachers, and leadership. Unfortunately subject to poor DPS policies and top-heavy central administration... a tax on all DPS schools.
4/4/2018
Great teachers who foster a tremendous academic and social environment
